Upcoming Valentine Day...

IANS, Kolkata reports that this Valentine's Day, young ones in Kolkata won't say it just with a card but also with a tattoo. Though it will be temporary one! The queues outside the 10-15 tattoo parlours here have got longer with Feb 14 around the corner — a day when many young hearts profess their love. The youngsters though are mostly going for painted tattoos, where the ink will fade in a few months. IANS quotes Raja Pyne, one of the oldest tattoo artists in Kolkata, that he has already tattooed over 90 youngsters since mid-January and holds more than 40 bookings for 40 more till Feb 14. Similarly quoting another city-based tattoo artist, Anil Sakarwal, has tattooed over 70 youths. Thanks to growing popularity of tattoo's in Bollywood it is catching up here.

Corporates are not to be left behind, they are trying to cash on the popularity of V day in young ones Vodafone has a special hoarding at Park Street, and Temptation's perfumes cashing on V day popularity has hoardings across the city ! though message is not gender sensitive one.
